“Yes, I do. My husband works for UAF in the computer center so he uses it a lot. Sometimes I use it to purchase products I can’t find here. I e-mail my grandchildren and in-laws and listen to radio stations from Hawaii. My husband has done our taxes on it. I read the newspaper online on the weekends. I even do a Bible class from Hawaii online.”
